This includes instructions for enabling explicit presence tracking in proto3, and also explains implicit presence. The language examples were written by inspection, and not individually tested.

I haven't been able to get through all of this yet, but a few preliminary comments.

Thanks for the update! I went through the rest of the doc and found a few more things.
- noted experimental status in release 3.12 - clarified JSON null and ordering concerns - "implicit presence" -> "no presence" - clarified message presence in proto3 - fixed round-trip example (client definitions were switched)
Singular, non-message typed fields in proto3 experimentally support explicit presence tracking (see docs/field_presence.md for details).
